I've just started working with PHP and MySQL, and I'm trying to create a table in MySQL. If I've got this right, I'm trying to do so by going to my host's SQL MyAdmin page and typing in mysql_query("CREATE TABLE example( id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY(id), name VARCHAR(30), …

I run a website where I periodically post articles. I'd like to add a timestamp/datestamp to each article showing the post date (the upload date, I assume, would be the logical choice). I had already asked for advice on this topic; unfortunately, the result is a blank. Literally. Here's an …

The following snippet is a simple PHP Pagination Script which I wrote. As far as I know it works fine. It is meant to be used within a class, and I have wrapped in in a class in order to demonstrate it's usage. The example given below will return something …

I've got a website with a splash page where users select one of two languages in which to access the page, and have the option of ticking a "remember me" checkbox, which would write a cookie. On subsequent visits to the splash page, the cookie would be read, and the …

I will give a training tomorrow. And the video I want to show in the training is just a little story from a movie. I want to trim the video on my Mac computer and just leave that story. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks!!!

I made an Edge animation with a stage which is, natively, 1600x900px. I've included it in an `<iframe>` linking to the HTML file outputted by Edge, on the page where it's to be displayed; as not all displays support this resolution, I wanted to use CSS media queries to resize …

This is probably the wrong forum section for this post, but it's the closest I could find. Is there any way to host two websites on a single, 1and1 hosted, server, and have them point to two individual URLs?

I'm trying to create a PHP script, which would be added to .php files (articles) on my website. This script would automatically add the article in question to a previously created database (and would subseqgently be used to timestamp articles). What would a script like that look like?

I'm amateur repairman in our household but I can't seem to google what this problem is. My roommate used her laptop last night -- the battery ran low so she plugged it in, used it for a few minutes, shut the lid (so it hibernated) and then unplugged it, took …

I'm a PHP newbie, and I need to replace my current code for linking to a stylesheet (which looks like `<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css"> `) by a PHP alternative. If it's important, the code I'm using which will link to it is [php-mobile detect](http://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/). The structure I wanted to use …

I notice that in some browsers, on some OSs, a field in a form gets a colored border. Is there any way to use CSS3, or possibly a JavaScript, to change the border color (as one can change the text highlight color on a given HTML page using CSS3)?

I want to include a .php file, containing a menu bar, in all my pages. Thing is, some of these pages are at different levels: for example, on might be in the root directory, another might be in root/news, another in root/news/2012, and so on. What can I do to …

I'd like to add a timestamp to articles I upload to my website, which reads the time and date the article was uploaded. I've got a database, as well as a working connect.php. In this database, I've created a table with a "date" field (type: date). What can I do …

I recently decided to try out a simple PHP/MySQL pagination script I found online. After replacing all the required data and creating a connect.php file with my db information, I got a bunch of errors on the page with the script: here they are, in order: Warning: include(connect.php) [function.include]: failed …

I know little PHP, but even less MySQL, and my host doesn't allow remote database connections (for example, from Dreamweaver), so in addition to being confusing to me, database management is impractical. Is there any way to put a timestamp on an article automatically, without resorting to MySQL tables?

I'm new to PHP, and trying to create a paginated layout. Could someone walk me through the easiest way to do so?

I recently downloaded a computer game for my mac, but it does not open up when I click on it. I am under the impression that I need to make a virtual disk image for the file in order to play the game on my comp. I do not know …

I've just moved over to Mac in particular for their writing software but now find that I cannot use my favourite font, Papyrus because there is no Italic version offered. Can anyone tell me how to obtain the Papyrus Italic font or better still e-mail me with a file that …

I'm a novice to PHP and MySQL, and would like to create a mailing list on my site, which can send HTML documents (basically styled to match the actual website). Can someone point me towards a good tutorial, or show me how to do so?

I can see plenty of practical applications for making a whole `<div>` a link.

If you're not yet among the percentage of the population people using Mozilla's Firefox browser, which by [url=http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp]one count[/url] stands at 47.5 percent, perhaps the anniversary of its launch will give you cause. Yesterday was Firefox's fifth birthday, and its market share with co-leader Internet Explorer by [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers]many counts[/url] continues …

I'm very new to C++; can a program be started with anything other than `int main`? And what, exactly, is the purpose of the `main` part, anyway?

Whenever I try to connect to my website over my network (from any device), my browser gives me an error saying that it could not connect to the host. I've tried a proxy, as well as downorjustme, and it works fine. I've recently performed some database work, nothing too important, …

I've recently found that 1and1, my host, doesn't allow for remote access to MySQL databases and tables, and access is only possible via a slow and cumbersome web UI. Is there any workaround? I don't want to have to spend ten minutes browsing PHPMyAdmin every time I need to timestamp …

I recently converted all my .html files to .php, and while the stylesheet they're linked to (which hasn't changed) works almost perfectly, the <h1> through <h6> tags (headings) don't work with the new .php files. The font appears the same size as the body, which is too small to be …

I recently converted all my website's files to .php, including my index.html and 404 page. Everything worked fine until I clicked a dead link, and no 404 page came up. Naturally, I figured I forgot to update the .htaccess file. After doing so and re-uploading it, every page on my …

I've just started working with PHP, and one of the first things I want to do is add a timestamp to my article template in Dreamweaver, so that each article I post automatically has the post date. How would one go about doing this?

I just started using HTML5 in my documents, and at this point, I'm missing XHTML's <center> tag. I've tried using text-align to center the element, but it doesn't seem like it works on .lbi files. Any advice on how to center an .lbi library element?
